Re: [Embeddedxen-devel] asking for directions: starting working with embeddedXen

Hi Ariel,

Thanks for your interest in EmbeddedXEN.

* In the demo, we run EmbeddedXEN on the HTC Desire HD (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_hd-3468.php). No specific requirement to look for before buying. You obviously will need to root it (this will be detailed in the how-to).

* I'm meant to write the guide but still haven't got time to do it. I will do that this week hopefully and post the wiki page here.

* Not all guest capabilities are ON. Note that we use SqueezeOS as the guest OS (domU) so no phone or GPS capabilities were needed. What we have enabled is Framebuffer, Sound and Network (as well as UART for debug). We also have some demo code for screen rotation (paravirt of accelerometer). To answer your question, every new functionality you need in domU needs to be enabled with paravirtualization (backend-frontend drivers).

Hope that helps,
Laurent

Objet : [Embeddedxen-devel] asking for directions: starting working with embeddedXen

hi,
i'm working on a research for using hypervisors as a security means on
smartphones, and i would like use the setup used in the HTC desire HD
demo as a starting point.

i would like to ask the following questions:
* in the setup, what was the exact phone used? any specific
requirements i need to look out for before buying the phone on retail?
* is there a guide for duplicating the demo - so that in the end i'll
have embeddedXen running with 2 guests under it?
* were all of the guest's capabilities made possible? for example, was
the phone, GPS, wifi etc functional?

thanx
